You look like every other white male in the world, why don't you spray paint your face matt black to be different?

Now you're just being silly.
I like them black for now. I want them anthracite but have more important things to worry about at the moment.
Now I can see why steve gets annoyed at times.

Corrado has springs around the shocks on the rear, basically the same as a front strut.
Is that cool?

The pic with the silver wheels looks great but it's your car so il stop bothering you with that 
The rear looks a lot lower than i thought it would be. They're just as easy as corsas to change, take the bottom bolt off the shock, stand on the hub and swap the springs and then put bolt back in ha.
When are the fronts getting done? Bet it looks stupid as it is now.

It doesn't look too bad as the springs were already 15mm lower than standard ride height so the rears only been lowered 25mm in reality.
Will get some pics of the whole car and stick them up soon.

Looks good. Not to keen on jet black wheels as it hides the details of the alloys. Like you say an anthracite colour will be spot on.
Please don't fit CSL wheels, nearly every fuckin BMW owner has them lol.

They are satin black. Found out today they were done at lepsons so not a cheap refurb at all, although the powdercoat seems to have cracked a little bit on one of the wheels.

I bet once you park that on an even surface, it will look like its doing wheelies.

it's not a corsa on standard springs it was low enough as standard, but obviously not internet enough.
i will put the fronts on but i have no spring compressors nor enough time for the next 3 weeks.

If you're not doing the fronts for another 3 weeks then why did you fit the rears? Going to look and probably drive shite until then.
Pics on a level surface would of been better. Didnt realise how low this was standard.

i had some free time and wanted to see if they were easy to fit. i took the wheel off and got carried away
i'll try and get some more pics at work tomorrow as it's nice and level there.
i went through a small puddle when it was standard height and ripped off my exhaust heatshield under the car, so i can't imagine what might happen now
